It is great to use up so many bits and pieces in your stash to create a colourful layout. Thank you for the great opportunity to be on the team Amanda and for allowing me to share my creations with the scrapping communitt that is D-lish and Scrap Suite.

Hi Wendy here, cant’ believe these are my last few layouts I will be sharing on D-lish Scraps. I have loved my 6 months on this DT, so next time it is advertised apply and have a go.. you won’t regret it.

This layout today showcases many of my all time favourite pieces from the shop. Flairs, doilies, and of course wooden veneers.

Today marks the start of a new season, which normally would mean a brand new team.. However the current team have all had so much fun the last 3 months that we wanted to continue inspiring you with our creations for a few more months!

In addition to our team, we would love for you to make welcome Rebecca Dammash. A regular member of the Scrap Suite, and recent 'Queen of the Crop'.

Sadly however, we are saying goodbye to one fellow designer Kathie. We wish her well and hope to still see her familiar face within the Scrap Suite.

I was inspired by the colours, and I worked a loose interpretation of the sketch, flipping it, and extending the frame around the 3 photos. The bubble wrap stamping behind the photos is in place of the squares shown in the sketch.

Inspiration taken from the frames in bottom left hand side and felt flowers.

And for something completely different, as we welcome all types of paper craft for this challenge..

Janmaree Peace has covered her planner in her favourite colour combo and D-Lish goodies

Thanks for dropping in, we hope that we have inspired you to get creative with this months board!

Be sure to share your creations with us via the link up tool below and to the right of the blog.

Remember that the sketch is totally optional, it's just there as a kickstarter if you need it. You can find all the rules for entering in the 'Current Inspiration Board' tab at the top of the page. And just a friendly reminder that layouts must be made exclusively for this challenge to be eligible for the prizes on offer.

The winner, as chosen by the Inspiration Team, will receive a $30 D-lish Scraps store voucher and one random entrant will receive next months 'Just Add Paper' kit for free!

Good Morning and welcome to my last post for February. Wow, another month almost down, a bit scary how quickly this year seems to be going by already.

Any hoo, you can't stop time, so let's use it to scrap instead! Today I am bringing you a page inspired by the lovely Lynn and her sketch for the February cyber crop. Again, you still have time to participate in this as we are now giving you until the next cyber crop to get your entries in! All you have to do is be a part of the Scrap Suite Facebook group (see the button in the sidebar to join) and read the rules for each challenge.

First up, here is the sketch:

And now for my take on the page:

We had such a fabulous time at Comic Con last year and I took so many photos (all on my phone mind you!) that my daughter and I are already planning on costumes for ourselves this year! While we were in the queue to have our photo taken with Orlando Bloom (Yes that Orlando Bloom! And he is absolutely gorgeous! That is a story for another page!) we found this group all dressed up as characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and they looked fabulous. So of course we asked to have a photo!

Lots of D-lish goodness on my page today. Let's start with the paper doilies, so useful and great for layering, love using the Journal It's journal spots, add a couple of flowers including a new pretty pastel petal (love these!) and a little resin one and finish off with a bit of wood veneer and we are all good!

I have been having so much fun with my new Scrap Fx goodies too, check out the stencil work on my background using the chevron stencil. Use a bit of pumice stone distress ink and make it a subtle pattern on my background. I have just been loving using my little tubes of sequins that came with the monochrome mini-kits, and the flair came from one of these kits too. I really hope Amanda makes some more of these as I still have a few colours that I didn't get last time! I am also loving the new short arrow paper clips from Freckled Fawn (ok I love all Freckled Fawn!). I think I ended up getting them in every colour!

Using paper bags to mat your photo is so easy and there are so many colours and patterns you are spoilt for choice! The mixed bags are a great way to start as you get a rainbow of colours to choose from! I love adding wood veneer too, and sometimes these little speech bubbles just add the perfect touch. The tabs are another of my favourites, so easy to use and great for layering.

So that is it for me for the month, I hope that I have inspired you to join in with some of our monthly challenges. Even if only to give you a starting point for creating your next page!
